I was able to go to Hobby Lobby last week. Yea! I didn't buy anything but I think it's probably really weird how much I enjoy just walking around in that store. I drug Jonathon there with me the other day on my lunch break and realized that all of their Christmas stuff is out!! I couldn't believe it. Christmas is my favorite time of the entire year but SERIOUSLY, it's still summer. I couldn't help but start thinking about how quickly 2008 has gone by. So much has happened and in such a little amount of time.
God has been so faithful to me this year. He is my provider and I've always had faith in that but it seems like this year it has just been one thing after another with blessing after blessing. Don't get me wrong. Not everything has been easy but as I look back over over this year, He has answered so many of my prayers. My grandmother told me the other day that His delays are not his denials and I've always known this to be true but never heard it said that way.
He provided health insurance for me 13 days before my gall bladder exploded. Shout out to Bacon, Panda Express & Jonathon's mom's lasagna. :)
He made it possible to pay for our wedding, honeymoon, and the first month's rent, electricity etc. Considering we were flat broke after this wedding that in itself was a miracle and I must thank my mom for having the best loans ever! No interest rate and no payment due dates. :) I'm so glad it all came together.
My job is going much better than it was this time last year with special emphasis on my paychecks. In sales you're either hot or you not and there have definitely been some months when it's chilly. :)
He proved once again that his plans our much better than our own. Jonathon went on several interviews for a few schools in the "not so desirable" areas of town but still in NISD. He would have most likely been teaching English (DEFINITELY not his strong subject seeing as I wrote all of his papers in high school and most of them in college.) But still, we were hoping one of the jobs would work out. (At least it would get him in a good school district.) Thank goodness none of them did go through because heaven knows we would have jumped on the first teaching opportunity that was going to give us a consistent paycheck each month. We instead waited patiently knowing He had a plan. Once again He was faithful to us and Jonathon was offered a job at Stinson Middle School two weeks before school started. Stinson now feeds into a brand new high school in Northside and it is also only 10 minutes from our apartment. Jonathon is now officially a 6th grade science teacher and coach.
These are just a few of the awesome things that have happened that I felt like blogging about. I know there is much more to come and that's what I'm so thankful for.
